Chapter 86 Bronze Coffin
Jin Abacus couldn't help but said: "It's really weird. Along the way, there have been so many Western Zhou architectural styles in this Tang tomb. Take this rock painting for example. The colors are bright. People who don't know it think they have just been painted."
Where is it? It’s really weird!”
Partridge Whistle also spoke: "Moreover, when we came in, we were blocked by a wall that suddenly appeared. Before, I thought there was a large mechanism driving here, but now it seems that it is not that simple."
"Then shall we enter the Hades Palace or not?" Qi Xiaohei asked impatiently.
"Of course, come in, but don't be impatient." Ye Bai comforted Qi Xiaohei, and then said to everyone: "I wonder if you have heard of the Ghost Tomb?"
Everyone shook their heads, even the well-informed Jin Abacus had never heard of the Ghost Tomb.
Ye Bai slowly explained: "It is recorded in our family's ancient books that people have souls, and this tomb will also produce souls, so it is called the Ghost Tomb."
"Even if the tomb is destroyed, its soul will still be there."
"Although this place is of the Tang tomb style, the Western Zhou style is mixed in, just like the Western Zhou rock paintings in front of me. It is extremely new. I suspect that there is a Western Zhou ghost tomb here."
"When the Western Zhou Ghost Tomb is triggered, we will see Western Zhou style buildings and stone slabs that suddenly block the intersection."
Everyone understood Ye Bai's explanation, but it was still a bit unbelievable.
How could there be a soul in a tomb?
Jin Abacus said: "Boy Ye, although I have never heard of ghost tombs, I also know that old scenes from the past often appear in some ancient places, which are somewhat similar to the ghost tombs you mentioned."
Although the Ghost Tomb is bizarre, no one can explain it otherwise.
Honggu said: "Xiaobai, since you said that the ghost tomb will only appear when it is triggered, then the ghost tomb already existed before we entered, which means that the ghost tomb was triggered by Senior Jin and Partridge Whistle."
Ye Bai nodded: "That should be the case. Ancient people would perform sacrificial activities in tombs. If poultry such as chickens and geese are brought into the tomb, it will make the tomb think that the sacrificial rituals have begun, and the ghost tomb will naturally wake up."
As soon as he said this, Jin Abacus clapped his hands fiercely: "What a coincidence, we really brought two big geese in."
"What about the goose?"
Jin Abacus smiled awkwardly: "When we were blocked by the big spider, we all got into our stomachs."
Ye Bai was also a little confused. He had eaten the goose, so how could this ghost tomb still exist?
"When did you eat it?"
Jin Abacus licked his lips: "I baked it and ate it the next day after I was blocked. Partridge Whistle and I had one each. It took more than ten days, and now the shit is probably all dried up."
More than ten days ago, Ye Bai and the others were still on their way here. It stands to reason that the ghost tomb should have disappeared long ago.
Could it be that the reason why the Ghost Tomb was triggered was not because of sacrificing living creatures?
Ye Bai was really confused.
"Regardless of whether the Ghost Tomb will disappear or not, we still have to go in and explore the Hades Palace."
Without thinking any more, everyone straightened up and moved forward along the tomb passage before entering the empty Hades Hall.
The scale of this Hades Hall is not small, covering an area of 200 square meters. Its structure is similar to that of a Tang Dynasty prince tomb. The lower part is rounded and the upper part is angular. The upper part is shaped like the roof of a yurt, in the shape of a dome.
"Specifications of Tang tombs and coffins of the Western Zhou Dynasty."
A bronze coffin is placed across the center of the Hades Hall, and the surrounding walls are unfinished Tang Dynasty murals.
The rolling thunder pattern printed on this bronze coffin is a unique decoration of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Although it was strange, everyone was no longer surprised after seeing it, so they spread out to observe the decoration of the Hades Palace and the surrounding murals.
Only Ye Bai came to the bronze coffin for no other reason than the silver treasure chest was in this coffin.
"Young man Ye, you don't want to open this bronze coffin from the Western Zhou Dynasty, do you?" Jin Abacus saw what Ye Bai was thinking and came over to ask.
Ye Bai nodded and reached out to touch the patterns on the bronze coffin. He felt a biting coldness and a chill penetrated his heart.
It stands to reason that this bronze coffin is also part of the manifestation of the Ghost Tomb, and it is hard to say what can be found in it.
Jin Abacus couldn't help but said: "There is no Dragon Bone Book in it, and you are not in need of treasures. Why are you competing with this bronze coffin?"
Hearing that Ye Bai was about to open the bronze coffin, others gathered around him.
The partridge whistle also asked: "Do you want to open this bronze coffin?"
"Open it!"
"Then open!"
The second and third masters of Xiling both spoke, and several brothers also took out tools, crowbars and ropes, and prepared to open the coffin.
This bronze coffin appeared together with the Ghost Tomb, and everyone was curious about what was inside.
Jin Abacus also took the opportunity to light a candle in the southeast corner.
When everything was ready, the four of them exerted their strength, only to hear a squeaking sound, and a corner of the bronze coffin was pried open.
Suddenly, the entire Hades Hall shook, and the candle in the southeast corner fell down.
Everyone's flashlights suddenly went out, there was no light source, and the entire Hades Palace fell into darkness.
A feeling of fear grew in everyone's hearts.
I have never encountered such a big scene in my whole life.
Xieling's brother said in a trembling voice: "Third Master, are you still open?"
"Open!" Ye Bai said decisively, for the sake of the silver treasure chest. At this moment, a big rice dumpling from the Western Zhou Dynasty popped out of it, and he recognized it.
The four of them gritted their teeth and opened the lid of the coffin, only to find that the bronze coffin was empty.
At this time, everyone's flashlights returned to normal.
"Fortunately, it was a false alarm." Jin Abacus took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Others saw that the coffin was empty, but Ye Bai was stunned. From his perspective, a girl in Western Zhou Dynasty clothing was lying in the bronze coffin.
The girl has a red face and white teeth, wears a crown on her head, wears plain clothes, and has a peaceful face.
It's like just falling asleep.
Above the girl, a shining white treasure chest was floating.
Ye Bai frowned deeply.
Is this the owner of the tomb who was buried in this tomb two thousand years ago?
Why can't other people see it but only me? Is it because of the system?
However, although the owner of the tomb looked good, he was far from Bai Zhixi. He lost interest after just one glance at Ye Bai.
Although he had many questions in his mind, Ye Bai decisively reached out and took out the silver treasure box at the next moment.
In an instant, the moment the treasure box disappeared, the entire bronze coffin also turned into dust and passed away in the wind.
At the same time, outside the Hades Palace, all the buildings and decorations of the Western Zhou Dynasty disappeared together.
The Ghost Tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty finally retreated.
The bronze coffin disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, which really shocked everyone.
"Master Jin, have you seen a ghost? Why did the bronze coffin that you could touch just now disappear?" Fatty Jin rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Partridge Whistle also took a deep breath. The scene he just saw broke his world view for more than twenty years, and the huge coffin disappeared in an instant.
Are there really ghosts and gods in this world?
When everyone was worried, Ye Bai said: "The ghost tomb must have disappeared, so the bronze coffin has also disappeared."
Everyone also began to wonder: "Is it because we forced the coffin to open that the ghost tomb disappeared?"
However, the scene where Ye Bai reached into the coffin just now was witnessed by both Partridge Whistle and Jin Abacus.
